Chapter 18: Drifting Su City

Lin Yang's gaze made Wei Ying suddenly recall what she had just said.

Her cheeks flushed, and she mumbled with her head down.

"I was just impulsive a moment ago..."

Seeing her like that, Lin Yang smiled and said.

"What are you thinking? I'm asking for the consultation fee—do you, Miss Wei, intend to default on payment?"

"Ah?!"

Now Wei Ying's face turned even redder.

She thought Lin Yang wanted her to work like an ox and horse.

Her face flushed with embarrassment, and she asked, a little annoyed.

"How much money do you want?"

Lin Yang raised a finger, and Wei Ying's pretty face slightly changed color.

She instinctively turned her gaze toward Wei Changsheng.

Wei Changsheng nodded and said, "Is my life not worth a hundred million? This money should be paid!".

Hearing this, Wei Ying said.

"I'll contact the family right away and bring you the money."

Lin Yang shook his head and said, "I only need one thousand; I don't want any extra."

Now it was others' turn to be surprised.

This was saving the Wei family patriarch from the gates of hell, yet it only cost one thousand.

This time, without Wei Changsheng speaking, Wei Ying took out a card.

"Mr. Lin, this is the card I usually save money on; it still has over a million inside. Please don't disdain it—you must accept it."

Originally intending to refuse, Lin Yang, seeing Wei Ying's sincere gaze, felt somewhat helpless.

"Mr. Lin, this is his heartfelt intention; please accept it."

Finally, Lin Yang helplessly accepted the card.

Seeing Lin Yang put the card away, Wei Changsheng continued speaking.

"I will have people help you find what you need."

Not long after their conversation began, a hurried footsteps sounded outside the door.

Outside, a man in a suit and leather shoes, with a square face and an imposing aura, walked in.

At a glance, one could tell he had long held a high position; ordinary people seeing him dare not meet his gaze.

Seeing the person arrive, Lu Linglong called out.

"Hello, Uncle Wei."

Hearing this, Wei Guochang nodded and said.

"You've worked hard, still looking for a doctor for the old master."

"Dad, Grandfather is fine."

Wei Ying had just finished speaking when Wei Changsheng said in a deep voice.

"Who told you to come? Get out."

Wei Guochang wasn't angry either; he spoke calmly.

"Dad, you're ill; now is not the time to be angry."

Watching the Wei family father and son, Lin Yang didn't want to meddle in their affairs.

"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

Only then did Wei Guochang notice Lin Yang; he glanced at Lin Yang with the air of a superior looking down.

"Are you a friend of Linglong?"

"Yes."

Having said that, he turned and left.

Seeing Lin Yang's attitude toward him, Wei Guochang frowned tightly.

At that moment, Lu Linglong also chased after him.

"Mr. Lin, wait for me."

As they went out, they didn't forget to bid farewell to everyone.

Seeing this, Sun Jiacheng also wanted to follow.

Mainly he wanted to discuss medical arts with Lin Yang, hoping to get Lin Yang to acknowledge him as a disciple as soon as possible.

But just as he was about to leave, Lu Yong'an grabbed him.

"Divine Doctor Sun, you should stay here and check on Old Wei; Mr. Lin has my granddaughter accompanying him."

Sun Jiacheng froze, then turned to see Lu Yong'an's smiling face.

He slapped his forehead and burst out laughing.

"Look at me, I'm muddle-headed—I even forgot Mr. Lin's age."

Saying that, he teased Lu Yong'an.

"Old Lu, you're really going all out—letting your precious granddaughter lure Mr. Lin back to the Lu family."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yong'an felt a hint of pride.

"Ah, who made my family's Linglong so beautiful?"

Upon hearing this, Old Wei immediately said, "My granddaughter is no worse either."

Hearing this, Wei Ying's cheeks flushed instantly, tinged with shyness.

"Grandfather!"

At this time, Wei Guochang said.

"Dad, don't worry about Ying'er's marriage; we have our own arrangements."

Wei Ying heard this and instantly changed; a hint of desolation flashed in their eyes.

Wei Changsheng, seeing his granddaughter like this, also sighed.

In the afternoon, Lin Yang and Lu Linglong came to a theme restaurant.

This restaurant follows a retro theme; the staff all wear hanfu, and the interior decor is as retro as possible.

Upon entering, people find it still has a unique charm.

Lu Linglong had originally planned to go to a private room, but Lin Yang said instead.

"There's no need to waste money; the decor here is quite nice, and eating in the hall also has its own charm."

Upon hearing this, Lu Linglong's face showed a smile as she said.

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

After the two sat down and finished ordering, Lu Linglong asked.

"Mr. Lin, what's your relationship with Yuan Shu?"

"Her? She's my nominal fiancée."

Upon hearing this, Lu Linglong's eyes showed a hint of disappointment.

"However, she now wants to break off our engagement, and she also looks down on me greatly."

"Huh?"

Lu Linglong, who had initially shown disappointment, now had her eyes flash with sharp light again.

She calmed her emotions, coughed once, and said.

"What's going on? Is she blind?"

Lin Yang took a sip of tea, chuckled lightly, and said.

"Because I'm no longer the young master from six years ago, and she's now President Yuan, she thinks I'm not worthy of her."

Just as he finished speaking, he saw two people walk in at the entrance.

Seeing the two, Lin Yang also smiled.

"Really, speaking of Cao Cao and Cao Cao appears."

The visitors were none other than Yuan Shu and Su Cheng.

At this moment, Su Cheng stood beside Yuan Shu, introducing her to this theme restaurant.

When the two entered, they both saw Lin Yang and Lu Linglong.

"You two, I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence."

Upon hearing this, Su Cheng's face darkened instantly and he shouted.

"Lin Yang, stop haunting Yuan Shu; you and she are not from the same world!"

Lin Yang instantly laughed; clearly they were the ones who came first, yet they claim he's the one pestering Yuan Shu.

"This is a public place; don't shout so casually."

Upon hearing this, Su Cheng gave a cold laugh and said.

"So what if I've called? I tell you, I know the behind-the-scenes boss of this place!"

"You good-for-nothing, thinking you're impressive just because you can land a hit!"

His loud shouting caused many people dining here to frown.

At this moment, the shop manager walked over.

"Sir, please don't shout; it's affecting other diners."

Upon hearing this, Su Cheng's face sank.

"I know the behind-the-scenes boss here is Liu Pangzi, Liu Shisan's son; even his father would give me face, so what dare he do to me!"

Upon hearing this, the shop manager hesitated for a moment, then turned and went to the counter to make a call.

Seeing this, Su Cheng, with a petty triumphant look, gazed at Lin Yang and said.

"See this? This is the power of my Su Family!"

"You didn't initially say you wanted me to kneel and apologize? My Su Family would not stoop to argue with you; otherwise, I would have crippled you on the spot!"

Seeing Lin Yang being mocked like this and yet not talking back, Yuan Shu wore a look of contempt.

"Let's go; we'll get a private room—I don't want to see him."

Upon hearing this, Su Cheng gave Lin Yang a provocative glance and shouted again.

"Hey, someone, open a luxurious private room for me!"

Having said that, he swaggered toward the private room.

Lin Yang saw this, smiled, and shook his head.

It seems that day's misunderstanding went to Su Cheng's head.
